Tarun Chugh Confident in BJP’s Success in Poonch District Elections
Srinagar (Jammu and Kashmir) [India], September 14: Tarun Chugh, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) In-charge of Jammu and Kashmir and National General Secretary, expressed confidence that voters in all three constituencies of Poonch district trust Prime Minister Narendra Modi and will support the BJP’s development agenda.
On Saturday, Chugh stated, “People in all three constituencies of Poonch district have faith in PM Modi. They are fed up with the three families–the Abdullah, Mufti, and Gandhi-Nehru families. These families have taken over Jammu and Kashmir’s democracy and turned it into a family-run enterprise. Democracy, as such, doesn’t exist under their rule. Their aim is simply to pass on leadership within their families. The people of Jammu and Kashmir despise them and will reject them in this election.”
He further alleged that these dynastic parties formed the Gupkar alliance and, in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, the Gandhi-Nehru family was unable to secure any seats. He added that the Abdullah family’s leader lost in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections and that the people of Jammu and Kashmir dislike those with separatist ideologies.
Chugh also said, “The National Conference and Congress are attempting to take away reservations, but we will not allow that to happen. Rahul Gandhi goes abroad, speaks against reservations, and opposes Sikh unity, but we will prevent him from taking reservations away. PM Modi has granted ST status to the Pahari, Gujjar, and Bakerwal communities, and we will protect this status. Both parties are struggling to decide on which constituencies the NC and Congress will contest. Their manifesto for the J&K elections seems like it was written by the ISI.”
The elections in Jammu and Kashmir are scheduled for September 18, September 25, and October 1, with counting on October 8. The Assembly elections will be held in eight constituencies across the three districts of Doda, Kishtwar, and Ramban in the first phase, with voting on September 18.
